How we handle floor joint sealing in Aberlady
Across Aberlady and the rest of East Lothian, it runs the same way: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. Approximate joint lengths, a few photographs and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. We work on loading bays, forklift and pallet-truck routes and retail and showroom floors, and what we’re called in for most is untidy open joints in a retail unit and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Aberlady it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Aberlady: dry faces and the right temperature are essential, so dates have some give. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

When to call us in Aberlady
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. As the panels contract, the joints widen, and a filler placed early can part company with one face.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
Sites like Roodlands General Hospital (4.2 miles south-east of Aberlady) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How they’ll work around occupants
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so the product suits them.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Aberlady is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Floor joint sealing in Aberlady: the local picture
Aberlady sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so it pays to keep them sealed. Being in the east of Scotland, Aberlady gets less rain than the west coast. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
In and around Aberlady, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
Aberlady is about 5 miles north-west of Haddington, in East Lothian. Aberlady sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else.

Different surfaces, different methods
Saw-cut induced joints
Saw cuts are made soon after the slab is cast so shrinkage cracks follow a line. They start narrow and widen as the concrete dries, and on truck routes they need a filler that supports the edges.
Flexible floor sealants
Where joints move more, a flexible polyurethane floor sealant is often used. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Questions we are asked in Aberlady
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Roodlands General Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Aberlady outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
Typically only the zone we’re working in has to close. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
